False Impressions

Sometime when I lay down poring over myriad experiences,incidents,anecdotes, and funny little one liners from my yore, i tend to realize how somthings were just part of our thinkings and speech rather being there in true reality.Rolling down the memory lane i remember how we used to hear this cute little line every now and then, "Nani ke ghar jayenge dudhh malai khayenge."....Now if we go take all the words in literal sense then it would mean that we would be having some kind of Milk Bath at my maternal grandma'a home. Or it could also mean that we never ever had milk and cream in our poor homes:).....Ok even if we accept this line and carry on our journey to my mom's maternal house, where our maternal grandma would be eying the entrance, one would expect to be showered with all the love and warmth in adjunct to that "Milk Stuff", which would mean that we could be swimming in some kind of milk streams...lolz...but this is not to be..It's the same there aswell...I mean who eats so much malai( as being so ecstatically yearned for in the phrase)....Rather we were deluged in coke and pepsi.....

Another thing which was religiously included while inditing an essay on Diwali ( the major festival in India)..is this line..." Diwali ke din log aapas mein mithayi baant te hain aur naye naye kappre pehente hain"......Diwali ke din log aapas mein mithayi baant te hain....is perfectly fine...i mean there is something like an avalanche of sweets during the diwali week.......But just looking at the other part of that sentence.....i imagine...when did we ever put on new clothes on Diwali........they were the same old clothes...though they looked new coz they were sacredly cleaned, ironed and stacked in the closet from repetitive usage since a week ago till the Festival of Lights finally emerged with the morning sun......But .......we never had new clothes on Diwali...i mean we din't .i don't know about others...........but just to give our essays a neat and decent and prude look:)...we ceremoniously used the same statement everytime an essay on Diwali was in question....
So truth of the mattter is....somethings are just done or said because they look good....no matter how much truth they hold.....in short........."Sexy hai to acha hai".........:)
Now this was my version of perceiving things........let's move to the other side of the mirror.

I posed this clothes question to my mom hoping for some shopping spree:) .........and the reply ....well it's stunning...
this is the reply...........
"Son, it's your mistake that you used to put down wrong points in your essays......may be that's why you got poor grades(though i never actually did, but i had to pay something for putting a query) in your Hindi essays( with a quizical look on her face:).......People like you get new clothes round the year. The statement is true for the poor and less priveleged who have just about that much money to meet the needs of their bellies each day. They save money the whole year and buy new apparels for the whole family. And upon that they just manage their quotidian activities and majority of their lives all that year in same clothes. People like you who get 3-4 pairs of jeans and Woodland shirts even when you din't ask for, why would you get new clothes on Diwali."

Well I was "ChiLL" with the reply....I hope none of you have any apprehensions about it:)Adios!....
